Answer: Rachel should produce pie and Joey should produce bread.

Explanation:

Rachel can make 1 loaf of bread in 2 hours and 1 pie in 1 hour. Therefore, Rachel can take less time to produce 1 pie as compared to 1 loaf of bread, as a result she should produce pie.

Joey can make 1 loaf of bread in 4 hours and 1 pie in 4 hours. Therefore, Joey can take same time for producing either pie or bread. But he has only one option to produce bread.

So, Rachel is specialized in producing pie and Joey is specialized in producing bread in order to maximize their combined output.

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Present value of investment X = $41,225.37

Present value of investment Y = $37,233.50

Explanation:

The present value of the cash flows can be found by discounting the cash flows at the discount rate.

This can be found using a financial calculator

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 9 for investment X = $5,800 

Discount rate = 5%

Present value = $41,225.37

Cash flow each year from year one to year 5 for investment Y = $8,600 

Discount rate = 5%

Present value = $37,233.50
